About the MV Agusta F4

The MV Agusta F4 follows in the footsteps of MV Agusta tradition and keeps alive the dream of having the most unique supersport in the world: a motorcycle that is true in its origins, built to the highest levels of engineering excellence and offering incredible performance.

The ultra compact in-line 4-cylinder 998cc engine featured in the F4 is capable of reaching 186 hp at 12900 rpm. The highest level of technology has been coupled with the most advanced electronic controls in the F4, including twin fuel injectors per cylinder, variable length intake system, slipper clutch and the TC MK II traction control system which has eight levels of adjustment.

These advancements, along with the uniqueness of the radial valve system, attribute to the fact that this engine is the most sophisticated and evolved on the market.

The MV Agusta F4 chassis has also been engineered to unheard of levels of compactness; the new single-sided rear swingarm has been lengthened, and its weight has been reduced along with the fully adjustable suspension that are all factors that contribute to making the new F4 unique.

MV Agusta originally revolutionized the world of supersport motorcycles, and the F4 has become even more beautiful, sleeker and modern while maintaining the unmistakable "Made in MV" design.
